Just stopping in to say we FINALLY have approval!  My husband's green card was ordered on the 27th, we had official approval on the 28th, and his card was posted on the 29th.  I'm so relieved! I thought for sure we'd totally failed the interview when my husband told the officer that he'd never met my son (who lives with us!)...he was so nervous. To all those waiting, I'm cheering for you! You'll get there! Don't give up!

Woo hoo my status has changed to ready to schedule interview! (For the I485) no changes with the EAD/AP... But I have faith! Anyone here with the Orlando Field Office?

We have our interview scheduled for October 9th.  I spent the night worrying they wouldn't believe we were married!  I was having heated conversations about love and distinctly remember accusing "nondescript government worker" of not knowing what true love and marriage was really all about.

I seen this yesterday! 
 
I think it it would be a great thing for slower LFO’s, like Seattle, Houston etc. Some people in ways do get disadvantaged especially being in a slower jurisdiction. Especially with EAD/AP’s increasing at least it’d maybe give people chance to get a GC quicker. There definitely needs to be more clarity from the USCIS in how this would work. For example, Las Vegas is slow but nearest surrounding me are also slow.
 
So how exactly would their policy work? For example, would it mean I have to go to maybe San Diego or LA? Would people have choices to nearby state LFO’s? What about people that have paid for lawyers to attend their interviews at their local field office (esp for more complex cases for example)? 
 
Some could argue about the time and money required to fly to a different state but I don’t think most people would mind. 
 
Definitely great they've recognised there is issues with processing across the US. Hopefully one day it could become consistent across states. 
 
Thats my thoughts anyhow

Thanks!

just asked her. both her middle names are on her card lol

Nearly all cards in the UK are plastic. Its just so much more durable. I know some day I will accidentally leave my SS card in my jeans and wash them! It's just so annoying there is an issue with getting a SSN. Nevada was irritating but eventually got it. Was super aggravated when i left the social security office 

You can apply for ssn with ead as well, if that comes before the gc

Poor service as Social Security? Welcome to America lol. Had the same experience pretty much.

I don't quite know the deal with SSA is! I had a thing with them. Apparently, it's uncommon in the US to have 2 middle names and he couldn't fit my name (which really isn't that long) on the system. I furiously responded by asking should I axe out my middle names on my birth certificate to suit their system? Then got sassy by over apologising my mother gave me 2 middle names (which is NOT uncommon in the UK). Anyway, as they couldnt verify my 'massive long winded name' it got sent off to USCIS.
 
My POE was 10/10 and got social number eventually 3 weeks later. Why aren't them cards plastic anyway??? What an experience social security was! Haha. I wanted to change my surname after I got married over 2 weeks ago but skipped on that as I never want to go there again. SORRY for the rant!!

Just dropping in to say we are sending our package out tomorrow. I'm spending this afternoon triple-checking all the forms and documents needed. It's taken quite a while to get to this point!
 
Good luck to all of us!

I do not uunderstand these K1 holdups at NVC. All they do is assign a number and ship them out. My case left NVC on the third day. It was in London the tenth day after NOA2. Ten more days to receive the "Packet 3" from London which was literally a big packet of instructions and paper forms to fill out and mail back. With all of the enhancements like online submissions, email notifications and confirmations, the CEAC status check, pay online, and such, one would expect it to be easier. There is more stress and frustration today than than we, who just waited in the dark with no information or confirmations, experienced. 
 
 

Correct Blessed, if you could tell me in which circumstances you would have a spouse while applying for a K1 I would be most greatful......applying rocket science of course. 

Hi everyone, my visa application status became issued on the 30th of April and I am now in possession of my visa as of 3rd of May 2018! Time to get myself sorted for the next steps: moving over, marriage and adjustment of status
